[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of our kids attend or went to unremarkable out of state flagships for free, essentially. Places like Tennessee, South Carolina, and Alabama. All of them got into UVA and passed because they got zero aid. All of them made this choice because they want to pursue grad school (one is in medical school, one is applying to law school and one wants to be a vet). They are all using 529 money to offset grad school costs so they have less debt. This is the smartest choice when you are trying to balance cost, program, and debt. Not everyone wants to pay 120K for a bachelor's degree. Honestly, as a Harvard undergrad alum, I found the undergrad experience to be wildly overrated. My kids' experience in their honor colleges seem pretty great and did I mention they are free? Yeah.[/quote] Seems like a good plan. I'm a Stanford alum and I would also encourage my kids to take a full ride somewhere else and save their $$ for grad school. [/quote]
